TITLE    : Problems with telnet sessions to Chase Iolan Terminal Servers. 
OS LEVEL : AIX 4.x
DATE     : 17/07/2000
VERSION  : 1.0

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since using AIX 4.x, the telnet program does not work correctly when
connecting from AIX to the iolan terminal servers.

The telnet program defaults have been changed from the defaults of AIX 3.x.

On AIX 3.x the default was "by character mode" but on AIX 4.x the default is
"by line mode".

This causes the characters typed to be not displayed until the return/enter is pressed
and an additional new line / carriage return character to be added.

To enable correct communication with an iolan, the telnet program must be switched
to "by character mode" after the connection with the iolan is established :-

1, telnet to the iolan
2, control t to get back to the telnet prompt
3, enter "mode char" return
4, press return to get back to iolan prompt

Example:-
---------

telnet iolan13	

Trying...
Connected to iolan13
Escape character is '^T'.


CHASE IOLAN f4 Terminal Server  v3.4.00n  - TCP
